You can use any text editor for creating a source file for ConTeXt. A lot of editors provide generic TeX syntax highlighting (not based on a word list). But some have a bit more support for ConTeXt:

Editor features Linux Windows MacOS X
Emacs with AUCTeX SU+? y y y
Vim SU2+? y y y
SciTE CSU y y y (X11)
TeXshop (Simple Cocoa IDE) C?PSTU? n n y (native)
gedit (GNOME editor) SU2? y n y (X11)
klat (KDE kate) STU2? y n y (X11)
iTeXMac (Complex Cocoa IDE) C?SPTU+ n n y (native)

features:

  • C = TeX/ConTeXt command completion
  • P = PDF preview
  • S = TeX/ConTeXt syntax highlighting
  • T = ConTeXt typesetting
  • U = Unicode (UTF-8) handling
  • 2 = bidirectional edit (right-to-left)
  • + = more…
  •  ? = previous feature probable but unsure


Remarks

Emacs + AUCTeX: Only the current developer version of AUCTeX has ConTeXt support. Berend de Boers ConTeXt mode for Emacs has been merged with the former ConTeXt support in AUCTeX by Patrick Gundlach.

SciTE: Only the latest version 1.6.x has ConTeXt support. Fink’s version ist too old. The ConTeXt support files are in the ConTeXt distribution in the directory context/data/context.properties. See also the manual mcite.pdf

SciTE on MacOSX 10.3 is Adam's quick-and-dirty port of SciTE to Panther/X11.
